{title:Music Speaks Louder than Words}
{c:Chorus:}
[C]Music speaks louder than [G]words,
It's the [F]only [G]thing that the [F]whole [C]world [G]listens to.
[C]Music speaks louder than [G]words,
When you [F]sin[C]g, [G] people under[C]stand.
[C]Sometimes the [F]love that you feel [G]inside
Gets [C]lost between your heart and your [Am]mind,
And the [F]words don't really [G]say the things you wanted them [C]to.
But then you [F]hear in someone's [G]song
What you'd been [C]trying to say all [Am]along,
And [F]somehow with the magic of music the message comes [G]through.
{c:Chorus.}
The longer I live, the more I find,
That people seldom take the time
To really get to know a stranger and make him a friend.
But the power of a simple song
Can make everybody feel they belong.
Maybe singing and playing can bring us together again.
{c:Chorus.}
That [F]mus[C]ic [G] speaks louder than [C]words.
{c:Chorus.}
